CHAPTER 11 "THE VOLCANIC WALL"

Sapphire, Red, Zircon and Terra were not too far from Speed World now. Red didn't forget what happened at Dance Planet when he saw his sister's wand, the wand meant she was a Lady Royal. Red and Zircon knew Sapphire's history but they never knew she was a Lady Royal. They stared at Sapphire in wonder, Sapphire just ignored them, she doesn't want to talk about it. Red did not want to disturb her privacy but he was too curious about one thing, and that one thing is the same thing to Zircons' question.

"So you were a Lady Royal, I saw your wand very fancy except you don't have wings that must be really tuff for you. Is it true when a Lady Royal tra la las Space dragons will fly down from the stars and-"

"Oh! That's what I said!" said Zircon with excitement that interrupted Red's question, but Red didn't mind.

Sapphire faced them with an annoyed face and answered "No! Guys that's a stupid myth, what fantasy world are we living in go to the library world and read a holographic book educate yourselves..."

While Sapphire was talking in stress she didn't noticed something behind her. Terra saw something appearing behind Sapphire "Uh Sapphire just look behind you" Terra warned her. Sapphire turned to see and she gasped.

"What is that?" asked Terra, frightened.

"Hex must've upgraded his bot" explained Sapphire.

The bot started to attack them! Terra, Sapphire, Red and Zircon ran for their lives, they ran in separate paths, the bot created two other arms he stretched them out to get them, that gave Sapphire an idea.

"We can tangle him up!" yelled Sapphire.

They did what she told them, with any luck the bot was all tied up (but not for long).

While the bot was struggling to free himself the others ran to Speed World, they were getting closer when suddenly the bot came in there way blocking the entrance, but they managed to get through to it by going under it.

The bot tried to get in but it couldn't.

"Don't worry its a legal world and this planet is secure" explained Sapphire (or is it?).

When they entered the Ride Zone there was a voice saying "Welcome to Speed World your about to leave the Universe remain seated please"

"You might wanna hang on" Sapphire advised them while their launching up.

"Why is it called Speed World anyway?" asked Terra. Her question was about to answer soon. They zoomed real fast, like riding a roller coaster but much faster. Terra screamed "Oh this is why I see that now!" They rode faster than ever and it looks like Red was about to turn green.

Finally they made it, they cheered but Sapphire wouldn't celebrate yet, they still have to pass the Volcanic wall.

The Volcanic wall is a huge lava wall that can talk "Hello" it said "Welcome to the Volcanic wall how may I help you?"

Sapphire turned on her control panel necklace and prepared the password codes, one of them has got to be the password.

"Okay, here we go" said Sapphire.

"What should I do?" asked Red.

"Sit in the corner and don't say a word, keep your sunburn skin to yourself" replied Sapphire, insulting him.

"Yes your lady royalness of cruelness!" said Red, talking rude back to his sister.

"Now Zircon I want you to stand on that mark and I'll give you the passwords and Terra you take care of the heat if one of the passwords are wrong" explained Sapphire.

"Got it!" said Terra, honorably.

Sapphire said the first code "Okay one, two, four".

"One, two, four" repeated Zircon.

The Volcanic wall scan that and it blasted Zircon, meaning it was the wrong password "ACCESS DENIED" it said.

Sapphire prepared another one "Okay lets try another one" she said.

"Is it gonna blast me every time I mess up" asked Zircon.

"Yeah, kind of" replied Sapphire.

"What do you mean kind of?"

"Terra turn down the heat before it erupts" ordered Sapphire.

Terra did all she can with her powers, it hurt and it was tricky but she managed somehow.

"Ready Zirc" asked Sapphire.

Zircon nodded her head concerned.

"Okay his favorite battle Suicide Slay" said Sapphire.

"Suicide... Slay?" Zircon repeated slowly this time.

It was incorrect and it blasted her again, and Terra turned down the eruption heat again.

"Huh, this might take a while" said Sapphire, as she calculated.

Terra and Zircon sighed.

"Mega Rock"

"Mega... Rock" Zircon repeated, and it was incorrect.

"Danger Laser"

"Danger Laser!" Zircon repeated faster this time. It was incorrect.

"Bahamala!" Incorrect.

"Skera!" Incorrect.

"Tovo!" Incorrect.

That was it there all incorrect. They've tried everything but none of them worked, they were exhausted. Terra who turned down all that eruptive heat, her hands hurt and she breathed heavily. Zircon was burned, she looked like she was barbecued. Sapphire was exhausted emotionally, she was ashamed and confused.

"I don't get it? We tried all the important things in the Lonely Prince's life his trusting pet, weapon, place" said Sapphire ashamed of herself "I'm sorry Terra I let us all down".

Terra walked up to Sapphire to cheer her up "You know if I was a lonely person and have to come up with a password I'd use the name of a friend I finally have" she said.

"I've stolen all the hidden secrets of the Lonely Prince's history he never had a friend" exclaimed Sapphire.

"Yes he had" said Red stepping in the situation "When I was in the Black Hole I saw a very interesting old memory ball... but I'm just a stone in the corner forbidden to speak" Red stopped right there, dramatically, but Sapphire seemed serious.

"What old memory ball?" asked Sapphire.

"I'm sorry, what?" said Red, pretending he didn't hear that.

"What memory ball!" The three of them said together.

"Oh to a friend, a girl actually it looked like he was dating someone, I guess instead of giving it to the Guardians of History he erased it in the Black Hole" explained Red.

Sapphire, Zircon and Terra looked at each other with wide eyes in surprise.

"Red this is very important, what is her name?" Zircon asked seriously.

Red's face froze, he forgot her name so he acted like he knew and tried to guess.

"Uh, her name yes excellent question it... was... Dina, Opal, Jasper or Onyx, I wanna say Onyx but that doesn't sound right now that I'm saying it out loud" Red just kept on guessing while Sapphire searches for the old memory ball on her control panel necklace.

"Aaaaa, I gotta find that memory ball" she said "I think I can access the Black Hole... I got it EVA!" Sapphire found the name from the memory ball, and she tried to perfect it but it was too old. Red acted like he got it "Yes, yes Eva I knew I get there" he said.

Sapphire managed to clear it a bit, she unlocked the memory ball of the Lonely Prince it showed a vision of him and a girl. The sound was low and hard to understand but Zircon can make out the words perfectly.

"Eva my shining star, you are more then you seem, you make me feel the happiest prince in the universe. I feel like I know you better than anyone else. You're the one I love and I would never forget you" Zircon translated.

Sapphire, Zircon and Terra were inspired by the Lonely Prince's words, till Red interrupted the feeling. "And he used a red flower, look" he said, pointing at it.

Sapphire and Zircon now know why the Lonely Prince dump the memory ball, a color of a flower that is red is a sign of love and romance, he doesn't want the Hidden Galaxy to know he was in love. Maybe men were afraid to admit their feelings.

"I guess now we know why he erased it" said Sapphire

"Guys, guys shall we try this" suggested Terra.

Everybody positioned themselves, Zircon was standing on the password mark ready to say the last code, Terra was ready to turn down the heat, Sapphire and Red just stood there hoping it's the right password.

Zircon shut her eyes tight and said the password "EVA"

"ACCESS GRANTED" said the Volcanic Wall. It finally opened to the outside of the universe, it opened to The White.

They were amazed, they stepped outside of the universe to The White.
